Only thing that kinda make me laugh tho, that man loves his lens flares
he's a b+ level director. He's always gonna have a product that is watchable, but a lot of his stuff is hit or miss.. never quite legendary. Lost was a great concept for the first several seasons.. mainly cause he had great coproducers.

Have you read Aftermath or the newly released novel Life Debt?

If so, do you agree with the speculation that Admiral Rax is possibly Snoke?

For the record (and probably the millionth time), I thought Abrams did an exceptional job of directing, the VFX were top notch, as was the casting. The dialog was great, too.

The only thing lacking was an original story, which kind of defeats the whole exercise.

Not when the exercise, IMO, was to get people excited about SW again and wash out a bad taste from the prequels.

I think that people would have flocked to the theater, regardless of the prequels, had the story been more original.

I *get* why they think they had to do it but disagree that it was necessary.

All eyes are now on Episode VIII. If it's a rehash, they'll lose half their audience.

It won't be, guaranteed. Abrams and Kennedy, if I remember correctly, admitted the thought was they needed to make something familiar so they could tell the next part.

We'll see. They're already beginning to lay out a familiar plot line in the TFA prequel books.

A young dark haired, pale skin boy was found the desert planet of Jakku by Chancellor Palpatine and given a purpose. He quickly rose up the ranks of the Imperial Navy after Palpatine declared himself Emperor. No one knew who he was or how he ascended so quickly but after the Empire's loss at Endor, he assembled the remnants of the Imperial fleet in the Unknown Region, which Palpatine thought was the source of the Dark side and began the First Order.

The books have all but stated that Admirial Gallius Rax, a Darkside Force user, who created the First Order, is Supreme Leader Snoke. It won't be surprising when it's revealed in Wendig's final novel of the trilogy.

That sounds way to similar to Palpatine's rise to power, IMO.

That sounds absolutely nothing like Palpatine's rise to power.

Shit the first TFA prequel book is about Mon Mothma and gang trying to clean up the remnants of the Empire. Completely new territory.

You are hell bent on discrediting the sequel trilogy out of some misplaced prequel trash love.

I guess you've never read the Star Wars novelization by Alan Dean Foster. Regardless, Palpatine's rise from nothing to Supreme Chancellor, while using the Dark Side of the Force along the way, is similar to Rax's ascension.

Also, how can I "discredit" a trilogy that doesn't exist?

I've only read 'Bloodline', but after researching the above mentioned character, it's as good a possibility as any.

No force-sensitivity confirmed though.
